Collection: Primers

It is a sealer that produces a good surface finish on applied top coats. Epoxy primers can be used to
waterproof materials that consequently protect the bare metal from oxidation, rust and corrosion.
Epoxy primers are also used in structural steel coatings for high-build thickness with the application of only
one or two coats. Epoxy primers not only offer excellent adhesion to metals, but also serve as a proper base
for extra undercoat products and top coats (paint).

White Wood Primer

Product description and uses

It is suitable for use in tropical and subtropical conditions. They are most suitable on use on soft woods, plywood and clipboards. The binder used is formulated to allow penetration into the wood. The formulation ensures slow swelling with water, allowing the paint to follow the wood in its dimensional changes. These characteristics combined with excellent adhesion and flexibility make white/pink wood primers the best possible between wood and enamel.

• Application: By brush or spray gun.
• Thinning and mixing: Thin with white spirit to the right consistency.
• Equipment cleaning: Equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with white spirit.
• Drying time: 12-14 hours.
• Color range: white.
• Spreading capacity: 12-14m2 per litre at 30 microns DFT.
• Pack sizes: 1 litre, 4 litres and 20 litres.
